24.01.2022 Today we release our Annual Report. This report outlines another great year for PCYC NSW and we are very proud to show you the hard work that went into delivering the educational, multicultural, vocational, sport, recreation, social justice and crime prevention programs and activities across 64 clubs. During the year, we changed the lives of thousands of young people and marked the first anniversary of the NSW Police Commissioner's RISEUP strategy. Providing opportunities ...for young people to flourish has resulted in significant reductions in youth crime and anti-social behaviour across the state. We hope you will enjoy this report and be part of Team PCYC in the future as we work towards another year of encouraging and developing young people across NSW to reach their potential.

22.01.2022 Rising Sun Dojo - Gunnedah held it’s very first grading on 28th November 2020 with five students who have paved the way and set the standard. It hasn’t been easy for these guys as we have had a dojo nearly full to the brim of white belts but they have put in the work, practiced their syllabus and it really showed their potential. They were tested under pressure and pushed to their physical limits where they wanted to give up but persevered and didn’t quit. They each had six r...ounds of sparring and put in some tough fights. We are very proud of these students, they show up week in week out, consistency is key and all of these students have proven that. A special thanks to Senpai Jamie Givney for coming over to help out for the support and the work that goes on behind the scenes. On behalf of Gunnedah PCYC, we would like to congratulate the five students and being the first of many to grade to the next level here at Gunnedah PCYC. Keep up the good work!

22.01.2022 The way we feel about ourselves, our world and our future is so much at the front of conversations at the moment. At PCYC NSW we encourage you to check in with yourself, your friends and your family, to find out how you are feeling about life right now. National Mental Health Month October is a great reminder to reflect and be present this month and every month. If when you check in you find that you need help, please reach out to someone who can help you build self-awareness..., make effective choices, reduce the impact of worry, and build positive connections. Its not a sign of weakness - we all need support and to have a safe place to talk.

19.01.2022 This R U Ok? Day remember it's important to continue the conversation. You don’t have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says they’re not OK. You can help someone feel supported and helped long before they’re in crisis. That's how we can all make a positive difference to the lives of Australians who are struggling. Today we ask if you are OK and urge you to talk to someone and find help if the answer is 'no'. ... Find out how you can find help for yourself or for someone else at ruokday.org.au. https://youtu.be/8NyT9jf0-XI #checkin #RUOkDay #theresmoretosay #empoweringyoungpeople

18.01.2022 PCYC NSW wants to hear from young people across the state to get a picture of how we can help you to not only survive, but to thrive. Your input will help form our Youth Strategy over the next three years. This strategy needs to be led by you, so we need to find out what what young people think and feel about a range of issues such as body image, the importance of sport and fitness, how the corona virus has affected you, and your thoughts on social media. This survey will ta...ke you 2-3 minutes to complete. That small time investment could have a lasting impact on the services PCYC is able to provide to young people across NSW. Please have your say!

Together with NSW Police Force we are working hard to provide programs that make a real, practical difference.

With the help of PCYC NSW he changed his attitude and put in the effort to get the skills he needed to start his plumbing apprenticeship. He has turned his life around. You can help more young people like Harrison succeed in the future, because your donation to PCYC’s Fit For Work program makes a real difference. Please give generously to help empower our youth.

03.01.2022 Leaving school is a transition into adulthood that is especially tough right now. School leavers face a 14.5% youth unemployment rate. Entry-level jobs normally filled by young people are no longer available. PCYC NSW recognises the vulnerability of our youth, and that some need extra support. Together with NSW Police Force we are working hard to provide programs that make a real, practical difference. Kirsty was having some troubles in her life before she was referred to PCY...C NSW's Fit For Work program. She saw the program as a fresh start, a chance to re-set and imagine a different future. Now Kirsty is a valued member of staff at Bunnings Warehouse Australia and is focused on saving for a car. You can help more young people like Kirsty succeed in the future, because your donation to PCYC’s Fit For Work program makes a real difference. Please give generously to help empower our youth.
